Each part is associated at the moment with a DigiKey part, so when you export the BOM it has the DK link, SKU, etc for ordering the exact part you placed.
In my case, I have a single table with all 30k parts, and then database views which break those down into categories (resistors, mlcc caps, ARM controllers, etc) - similar categories as you’d find on DIgiKey. I haven’t used KiCad before, so I don’t know what would be involved, or if it’s even possible.Īn Altium Database Library (DbLib) works by having a database (in my case, hosting on Azure for now, soon our own dedicated server) which associates footprints to schematic symbols and contains all the parametric information for the part. I publish the largest open source database library for Altium and have multiple requests to see if I can do something to port it over to KiCad.
